GERMANY AND SAMOA
IBEUTER'S XKLEORAMS— OOPYBiaHT.] Sydney, August 4. Owing to "the sudden departure of the German fleet for Samoa it is believed a step towards the annexation of one or more islands of the group is contemplated. The fleet had intended staying here until the arrival of the new captain and crew of the Olga, who are now at Adelaide, but it is supposed they received orders from Berlin arising out of the decisions of the Washington Conference. Though the destination is not divulged, it was not denied that the vessels were hastening to Samoa. The officers even were taken by surprise. : .
